Description
This security bulletin contains information about 7 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44487)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to improperly control of consumption for internal resources when handling HTTP/2 requests with compressed HEADERS frames. A remote attacker can send a sequence of compressed HEADERS frames followed by RST_STREAM frames and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack, a.k.a. "Rapid Reset".
Note, the vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.
2) Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-39410)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to reader can consume memory beyond the allowed constraints and thus lead to out of memory on the system, when deserializing untrusted or corrupted data. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Incorrect default permissions (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2976)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect default permissions in com.google.common.io.FileBackedOutputStream. A local user with access to the system can view contents of files and directories or modify them.
4) Improper access control (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-4503)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access to otherwise restricted functionality.
The vulnerability exists due to custom provisioning of eap-galleon creates unsecured http-invoker, when using Galleon to provision custom EAP or EAP-XP servers. A remote attacker can bypass implemented security restrictions and access remote HTTP services available from the server.
5) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26048)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when processing multipart requests in request.getParameter(). A remote attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26049)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input validation when parsing cookies. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with a cookie value that starts with a double quote and force the application to read the cookie string until it sees a closing quote. Such behavior can be used to exfiltrate sensitive values from other cookies.
7) UNIX symbolic link following (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-35887)
The vulnerability allows a remote user to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to insecure symlink following that lead to files outside the RootedFileSystem. A remote user can identify presence of files on the system.
